Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of generating ultra short electro-magnetic waves
IPC: H01J25/02
Filed: 1937-04-27
Abstract: 494,722. Discharge apparatus; directive wireless systems. TELEFUNKEN GES. FUR DRAHTLOSE TELEGRAPHIE. April 27, 1937, No. 12056. Convention date, April 27, 1936. [Classes 39 (i) and 40 (v)] A method of generating very short waves consists in impulsively exciting to oscillation rod or strip structures which are capable of resonance, by electrostatic influence or electromagnetic induction resulting from the approach to or recession from said structures of electrons freely and progressively moving past them. The electrons are emitted impulsively from a suitably controlled cathode which may be a spark discharge ; or a constant source of electrons may excite an impulsively controlled source of secondary electrons. In. one form a number of wholewave length dipoles are arranged in three straight lines emanating from the cathode ; the spacing of the dipoles decreases as the electron velocity in the beam falls. The dipoles are all tuned to a multiple of the impulse frequency. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the structures are arranged at intervals of half a wave-length along a line terminated by a dipole D. The cathode K is in the middle of the line and anodes A at each end ; the physical distance of the structures decreases towards the ends. In Fig. 7 electron beams from cathode K are bent by a magnetic field so as to excite the circularly arranged structures S. These may radiate individually, giving a circularly polarized wave, or may be connected by a line as in Fig. 6. The field is such that electrons cannot escape between the plates H unless an auxiliary voltage is applied between them, to obtain the necessary impulsive emission. The structures are all enclosed in evacuated vessels. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 includes also arrangements in which (1) an electron beam excites a number of equally spaced dipoles tuned to different frequencies, Fig. 6 (Cancelled) (not shown) ; (2) secondary electrons released by a spark discharge excite a number of negatively biassed structures arranged at random in an evacuated space, Fig. 9 (Cancelled) (not shown). This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 819,732. Operating clutches. OLYMPIA WERKE A.G. April 20, 1956 [April 25, 1955; Dec. 1.0, 1955], No. 12131/56. Class 80 (2). [Also in Groups XVI and XXXVII] An electric motor 3 drives a typewriting ma. chine through clutch 19 and pulley 20, and is started by energizing an electro-magnetic relay 2 which displaces an actuating rod 221 coupled to the armature of the relay. Spring 25 is thereby compressed, allowing rod 22 to move to the right so that spring 26 is free to turn lever 23 to engage the clutch. When the relay is deenergized the clutch is disengaged, the spring 26 being held in its tensioned position by the rod 22, since the spring 25 bears against a fixed stop 24, and, at the other end, through rod 221 against a projection 22a on the rod 22. As a result, the lever 23 is held in its inoperative position in which it bears against a collar 19d on the shaft 21 of the pulley 20. In another arrangement, the clutch is of the electricallyoperated type controlled by a normally-open contact of the relay 2, Fig. 2 (not shown).

Abstract: 433,808. Wrapping-machines. ROSE, A. G., and ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH), Ltd., Albion Works, Gainsborough. April 24, 1934, No. 12261. [Class 94 (i)] The closed ends of packets are subjected to pressure to ensure adhesion, and the packets are delivered in numerically equal groups. The packets P are fed in succession between upper and lower chain conveyers 10, 11 having pushers 22 to effect the feed and rollers 23 resting on the ends of the packet. The upper run of the chain 11 is supported by a bar 16, and the lower run of the chain 10 is not supported so that its weight is applied through its rollers 23 to keep the folds of the packet in position. When four packets have arrived at positions P, shown in plan in Fig. 3, a transfer member 30 is rocked by arms 32, 40 to transfer them as a group to positions P<1> on a platform 50. The continued travel of the chains 10, 11 cause an oblique movement. Successive movements of the transfer member feed the groups to positions P<2> and finally into the bite of endless belts, of which the lower belt 61 is shown in Fig. 3. The belts engage the tops and bottoms of the packets and are moved at a speed which causes gaps I of about 25 per cent of the dimension of a packet measured in the direction of its movement. The upper belt bears on the folded tops of the packets and is pressed into position by a number of weighted rollers loosely mounted on spindles above the lower lap. The wide delivery belts may be replaced by a number of narrow belts.
